Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ProxymanApp/Proxyman/issues/1334

Proxyman version? (Ex. Proxyman 1.4.3)

3.8.0

macOS Version? (Ex. mac 10.14)

12.4

Steps to reproduce

Expected behavior

When adding a breakpoint to a domain/subdomain, it is expected to intercept all calls with that domain/subdomain. But Proxyman is currently only adding "duckduckgo.com" to the matching URL. With that URL, you will only get exact matches.

It should automatically add "duckduckgo.com/*" so that every request is intercepted.

I don't think that it's a good point.

/* is equivalent to "Include all subpaths of this URLs". I set it off by default because if it's ON, there are a lot of incoming breakpoints. Thus, the user has to select the one they need to do a breakpoint.

From my experience, most of the time, we would like to set a breakpoint for a single request. Thus, OFF is default is better 👍

For me as an app dev I never have any requests that I want to intercept at /. It's always /api/v2/some-call for example.
I guess only for web devs it makes sense to specifically only target /.

Maybe it could be an option? :D.

yes, it's from the Web dev. When you reload a website at mydomain.com, there are a bunch of requests, such as mydomain.com. If you create a rule with /*, there are a bunch of breakpoints too. Not just the homepage /
